olo Magic 2 WiFi 2-1

Like the HomePlug AV technology used in establis-hed devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses thehousehold mains supply for data transmission andsecures ideal performance and stability in locationswhere network cables are not viable or desiredand/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to cei-lings and walls.

To set up a devolo Magic network, you need atleast two devolo Magic devices. For technicalreasons, devices from the devolo Magic seriesare not compatible with dLAN devices.

Expanding an existing devolo Magic PLC net-work by adding another devolo Magic adapterIn order to use a new devolo Magic 2 WiFi 2-1 inyour devolo Magic- network, first you have toconnect it to your existing devolo Magic adaptersdevices as a network. This is accomplished by usinga shared PLC password, which can be assigned invarious ways:

b Using devolo Cockpit or thedevolo Home Network App (see Chapter 3.4Installation of devolo software)

b Using the web interface (see Chapter 4.5Powerline)

b Using the PLC button as described below.

1 To do so, plug the new devolo Magic adapterinto an available power socket and, for appro-ximately 1 second, press the PLC button on adevolo Magic adapter in your existingdevolo Magic network.
